ATLAS DOUBLE FIBER TECHNOLOGY is based on a mixture of polypropylene and cellulose fibres.
Polypropylene fibers used in the ATLAS DOUBLE FIBER TECHNOLOGY are a material with very high chemical resistance to acids, bases, solvents and salts. They are hydrophobic, practically non-absorbent, and therefore resistant to microbiological contamination. The fibers improve the mechanical properties of the mortar by creating dispersed reinforcement in the mortar structure.
Under the influence of water, cellulose fibers become flexible and ductile. They increase their volume and allow free transport of water along the fibres. Thanks to this, they have a significant impact on the working properties of the mortar - they improve the rheology of mortars, reduce their flow, extend the open time and increase the wettability of the substrate. Cellulose fibers prevent the substrate from draining water too quickly, therefore, after binding, OK! - FLEXIBLE ADHESIVE obtains the best technical parameters, such as adhesion to the substrate or durability.
The most important features:
increased mechanical strength
for kitchens, bathrooms, corridors
maximum tile size: medium
grouting after 12/24 hours
DOUBLE FIBER TECHNOLOGY in OK! - FLEXIBLE ADHESIVE has the following benefits:
increase of strength parameters,
improvement of water retention in the adhesive mortar: fibers limit the effects of rapid water extraction both at the connection with the absorbent substrate and with the absorbent tile, and in the evaporation zone; during setting and drying of the adhesive mortar (especially applied in maximum thickness), the fibers accumulate and transport water, maintaining its equal level throughout the entire layer,
limiting the effect of "pulling in" the plate,
significant improvement of working parameters,
increasing the stability of the tiles immediately after they are glued to the substrate.
